So much for all those rumors. Jay-Z says reports by E! that Beyoncé is expecting a second child are false. He responded to a congratulatory email from New York's Hot 97 program director Ebro Darden, simply stating, "It's not true."

According to the Daily Mail, Beyoncé also responded over the weekend via Instagram, saying: "I can't stop the rumors from starting, and I can't really change peoples minds who believe them, all I can do is sit back and laugh at these low life people who have nothing better to do than talk about me." That post, however, does not currently appear on the singer's Instagram feed, so we wouldn't put much faith in it.

For those who were worried about whether Bey would be able to finish her current Mrs. Carter World Tour, that now seems likely.
